Why would a student need an education lawyer?

When a student faces allegations, disciplinary action, harassment, discrimination, or a Title IX investigation, the process can feel overwhelming—and the consequences can be significant. An experienced education lawyer can help students understand their rights, prepare for hearings, respond thoughtfully to allegations, and make informed decisions at every stage.

NachtLaw represents students at public and private schools, colleges, and universities in matters involving:

- Sexual harassment or assault

- Student misconduct and disciplinary hearings

- Title IX investigations

- Criminal accusations, including DUI, assault, drug offenses, and underage drinking

- Academic integrity concerns, including plagiarism and unauthorized collaboration

- University offices of institutional equity

David Nacht and Fabiola “Fabi” Galguera bring deep experience representing students navigating academic, criminal, harassment, and discrimination-related matters. Familiarity with the process—and the people involved—can make a meaningful difference.

If you’re a student seeking clarity about your rights and options, contact NachtLaw to arrange a consultation.

What is Title IX (Title 9)?

Title IX is a U.S. federal civil-rights law, enacted in 1972, that bars s*x discrimination in education programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance.

It is often associated with equal opportunities in school sports, but it reaches much further: admissions, classes, extracurriculars, pregnancy-related treatment, s*xual harassment and assault responses, and certain education employment practices. Schools covered by the law must provide equitable access and address s*x-based discrimination.

What issues does an education lawyer handle?

Education lawyers assist with a range of school-related matters, including:

Special education, IEPs, and disability accommodations.

Student discipline, suspensions, and expulsions.

Discrimination, harassment, and Title IX concerns.

School enrollment and admissions disputes.

Student records and privacy.

School employment matters.

Compliance with state and federal education requirements.

At NachtLaw our experienced education lawyers help resolve concerns through advice, school meetings, mediation, administrative complaints, hearings, or litigation.

Examples include voting rights, fair housing and employment, equal access to schools, businesses, healthcare, disability accommodations, free speech, and religious freedom.

TRIAL WON!!!

On June 29, 2026, a jury returned a unanimous verdict for our client who was accused of s*xually assaulting a former student. Additionally, the jury found that our client was the victim of online defamation from the former student’s father. The defamation caused the loss of reputation, business, and well-being of our client given the online posts generated immediate response from the community. The online posts began with a “TRIGGER WARNING” followed by allegations of the collection and distribution of po*******hy, violent threats, supplying alcohol to minors, blackmail, and s*xual assault of multiple children. Although our client did not fight the case online, he did fight in court—and won.

Partner Fabiola Galguerra led a trial team consisting of herself, Senior Counsel Adam Dreher, and Paralegal Whitney Wuebben, in what amounted to two separate cases. First, the defense of our client against the false allegations of s*xual assault. And second, the prosecution of claims of online defamation. The jury sided with our client on both fronts and awarded further exemplary damages.

The trial was the culmination of nearly two years of litigation within the Washtenaw County Trial Court. There were eight depositions, numerous requests for production, multiple FOIA requests, and extensive motion practice. The complexity of the case required nearly a week of testimony and two days of jury deliberation. At the conclusion, the jury was unanimous.
